Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies - Year 6 production costume list
Below are some ideas for possible costumes for our production. These are just suggestions which were outlined in
the script and we appreciate it’s not always possible to find the exact outfit that is outlined. Please don’t worry,
anything that fits into the Robin Hood theme will be fine and if you have any worries let us know and we will do our
very best to help. We would like costumes in school by Thursday 9th July. Many thanks, Mrs Massey & Miss Speirs.
Narrator
Millie and Jilly Wigglestick could be dressed as wandering minstrels, court jesters or Shakespearian playwrights!
The Sherwood Hoodies (Men in tights)
Traditional “Robin Hood” look with white long-sleeved shirts under a green tunic with a belt,
tights (green preferably) and feathered hat.
However, individual touches can be added for different characters:
Robin should stand out with perhaps a slightly different coloured tunic
Much Muscles can be hairy with muscle outlines drawn on his top.
Alan should carry a lute but could also have musical notes to decorate his tunic.
The Little John puppet needs to be dressed identically to Big John.
Dave could add leg warmers, wrist and head bands to his costume reminiscent of a 1970s disco dancer!
Tuck should wear the traditional monk’s long brown cassock, wig and fat tummy courtesy of a cushion or fatsuit.
Will Scarlet should be costumed as the Merry Men, but with red tunic, tights and hat, not forgetting his
glasses and his trusty bow over his shoulder.
The Castle Crew
Mock chain mail for the Sheriff, Guards and Kings. A comedy element can be added to the Guards costumes by
adding striped socks to their costumes.
Gloria can also be comical, dressed as an over enthusiastic holiday camp rep - bright coloured blazer with
white shorts, polo shirt, knee length socks and plimsolls.
Genghis – lots of raggedy clothes, unruly hair and a dirty face!
Grabbit and Bolt could wear matching bright stripy tights and tunics with a large G or B on the front,
The Sherwood Villagers (including The Wealthy Travellers)
The Villagers should be costumed simply and uniformly.
Girls can wear brightly coloured stripy or spotty skirts topped with a blouse and mop cap.
Boys can wear knee-length trousers, shirts and waistcoats, perhaps with neckerchiefs to match the girls’
skirts.
Guy and Gladys are wealthy and should be dressed accordingly.
Maid Marion could wear a traditional long dress and garland of flowers in her hair.
Nursie’s eccentric “dame” character can be emphasised by a more outlandish costume, possibly with a
comic wig and glasses!
The Skunk Scouts
The Skunk Scouts need a traditional “scout” look, but with added colour. Try khaki knee-length shorts & t-shirts with
stripy knee-length socks and colourful neckerchiefs, topped off with a traditional brown “Baden-Powell” hat.
